These are the days when itinerant hail in
surance agents make life burden to the inno-
cont and unsophisticated granger. They are
with him morning, noon and night, until in
shear despair he is ready to sign notes aud
mortgages that will return to haunt him when
harvest time comes Hail insurance Is ln-
doubtedly good thing when effected in a re-
liable company and through responsible
agent. Therefore, wo say to our farmers, if
you wish TO insure against hail. do not squan-
der your money by taking a policy from a trav-
cling agent whom you know nothing about,
and who you will probably never see again,
but go to resident agent and secure your in
surance. E. J. A1cMahon is representing the

Insurance company Of Sioux Falls, Dakota,
